Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 187: Chapter 5 “Afraid of Death” Wang Shouzhe_1

…

Wang Shouzhe had a thought and said, “Could there be any hidden story behind this?”

“Longzuo County was originally a pioneering county, and there were many directions for reclamation. The reason why Zhou Xuan, the ancestor, chose this place to establish the family was his own consideration.”

“Looking back at that time, Zhou Xuan, the ancestor, was just a direct descendant of the Longzuo Wang family. The Longzuo Wang family was not doing well at that time, it was constantly declining, and even the transition of Celestial beings was very difficult, let alone having too much strength to cultivate its clansmen.”

“However, Zhou Xuan, the ancestor, was born with a blood awakening, qualifying him to impact the Heavenly Human Realm. Therefore, he was not willing to be mediocre for a lifetime.”

“So, Zhou Xuan, the ancestor, went out seeking opportunities. In the foreign land, he found a very hidden relic belonging to the Divine Martial Dynasty of the Middle Ages. It was because of this relic that Zhou Xuan, the ancestor, managed to ascend to the Spirit Platform Realm.”

“But when Zhou Xuan, the ancestor, found the relic, he did not receive the biggest opportunity there. Therefore, he established the Ping’an Wang Family in this area with the Expansion Order in hand, anticipating that his descendants could gradually control that relic and constantly benefit from it. Now, that relic is only about a thousand miles away from our Ping’an.”

With Longyan, the ancestor’s story, one could understand why Zhou Xuan, the ancestor, moved southward back then.

“So there’s this secret.” Wang Shouzhe suddenly realized, and then a thought crossed his mind, he asked with a slightly changed face, “Then my father back then…”

The former Family Head, Wang Dingyue, died while seeking opportunities in the foreign land. Wang Shouzhe had always suspected that something was wrong with it. After all, the family still had some surplus back then. If they sold it at a loss, they could exchange it for a Heavenly Spirit Pill.

“Ah, speaking of this, it’s all my fault.” There was a hint of bitterness in the eyes of Longyan, the ancestor. “Yes, when Dingyue reached the peak level nine of the Vital Energy Refining Realm, I discussed this matter with him. After all, opportunities are rare, and both Qiongyuan and I had entered that relic and benefited from it.”

“Unfortunately, luck was not on our side. We encountered a level four fierce beast on the way there. Even though I did my best to protect him, I still couldn’t save his life.” Remembering this, a look of gloom and guilt appeared in Longyan, the ancestor’s eyes. It was clear that she was greatly saddened by Wang Dingyue’s death.

“Ancestor, those things are in the past. Besides, you were not in good condition at that time and your injuries worsened because of it.” Wang Shouzhe comforted in a gentle voice. “But Ancestor, what exactly is that relic? How can we benefit from it? And what are the dangers?”

Wang Shouzhe asked several questions in a row, express his doubts.

He thought that no matter how good the ancient relics are, one must be alive to enjoy them.

If he had to venture into the foreign land for a small Heavenly Spirit Pill, it wouldn’t be worth it. He would rather to farm slowly and accumulate gradually over time.

Given the current wealth of the Wang family, purchasing a Heavenly Spirit Pill would not cause a big loss.

If it is not clear, or if preparations are not adequate, he would not dare to venture deep into the foreign land without a high degree of certainty.

“That relic is a trial land opened up by Divine Martial Dynasty, with the aim of recruiting potential youngsters for the dynasty. It is not dangerous itself, even if one fails the trial, there is no danger to life.”

“Back then, when Zhou Xuan, the ancestor, was at the peak of level nine in the Qi Refining realm, he passed the first trial and received a consolation award…a Heavenly Spirit Pill.”

“Uh…”

Wang Shouzhe was instantly drenched in cold sweat. What kind of relic was that? They referred to a Heavenly Spirit Pill as a consolation prize…

No wonder at that time, the former head, Wang Dingyue, wanted to venture to the foreign land.

Given the condition of the Wang family at that time, if they could earn a Heavenly Spirit Pill, it would be worth risking everything.

“The difficulty of the first test is not big or small.” Longyan Ancestor explained, “The gatekeeper is a level nine peak demonic puppet beast in the Qi Refining Realm. As long as it is defeated within the rules, it is considered a pass. If Profound Martial Fighting Technique is cultivated very solidly, it can barely pass this level.”

“As for the Heavenly Spirit Pill, I heard that the Divine Martial Dynasty is extremely powerful and its peak territory spanned hundreds of thousands of miles. A mere Heavenly Spirit Pill is really nothing. The reward for passing the second level is really substantial.”

Longyan Ancestor continued, “The second level is to confront two peak level nine puppets of the Qi Refining Realm at the same time! Once passed, you will receive a pill that improves bloodline talent.”

“Improve the bloodline talent pill?” Wang Shouzhe’s eyes lit up. This was exactly what he most lacked right now. It was actually easier to get a Heavenly Spirit Pill than this.

“Back then, I barely made it through the second level by the skin of my teeth, obtaining the bloodline-improving pill and the Heavenly Spirit Pill,” Longyan, the ancestor, continued to say, “It’s a pity that my bloodline talent was not high to begin with, it was just a Middle-grade, Fourth Rank. After taking the pill, it only reached around Mid-Rank ‘A’ Level, and no second bloodline was awakened.”

“But even so, when I ascended to the Spiritual Platform Realm, my Vital Water Bloodline was mutated into Mysterious Ice Bloodline. Moreover, in terms of talent, I am much stronger than ordinary double-blooded individuals.”

With the explanation from Longyan, the ancestor.

Wang Shouzhe finally understood why the fighting power of Longyan, the ancestor, was so strong.

And besides, after her ascension to the Spiritual Platform realm, she rapidly advanced, constantly suppressing Xuan Fu, the ancestor.

If it had not been for the accident that year, Longyan, the ancestor, might have already been in the Heavenly Human Realm by now.
